So it looks like it could work fine in a .308, but probably best with lighter loads. The Hornady Reloading app lists its effective muzzle-velocity window as being between 1800-2500 fps. Not to say that you can't push it fast against paper, but in the .308's normal velocity range, it probably...

Very nice. That 10mm will do great with a suppressor. A modest charge under a 200 or 220 grain bullet will keep you subsonic.

The Post isn't where you'd be likely to find many of her fans.

Depends on the kind of shit hitting the fan. Am I preparing for combat, survival, or is it just the first pistol I grab? If combat, then it's my Glock 23 along with a 9mm conversion barrel and magazines. If my .40 S&W supplies dry up, I'll be able to use 9mm. If survival, then a brace of...

If you still like that rifle and its more traditional stylings, maybe reach out to TC and check if they or someone they recommend make a rear aperture sight for it. I've been getting worse and worse with open ironsights, but peep sights work great.

Good. Even with such quick deaths, they lived too long.

Wow, this one is the most perfect of all of Glock's long record of perfection. Anyway, it's cool, I guess. Why innovate when people will buy your 20th iteration of the same thing over 5 generations?

Like pot? Fuck the state. Grow your own. Make sure they don't get a penny in taxes from one of the world's easiest growing plants. I don't touch the stuff, but I grow their horticultural cousins – hops. Both plants grow like weeds (imagine that).

Haha, at the risk of derailing the thread, why the hate for the .300 Blk? Does anyone out there think it's some super-powerful cartridge? They put all their fun side into their cartridge. No way. I got to shoot a 5 rd cylinder through a S&W 340PD. It was way more painful than shooting the 3"...

Same. I was torn between a .454 Casull and a .44 Magnum at one point. I went with the .44 Mag. And haven't looked back. I shoot it a lot, but mostly with lighter loads like a 240 gr bullet at 1000 or 1200 fps. At those levels, it still feels like shooting a big bore without the wear and tear on...

Anyone looking for a new edc for over there in T-Rex country? The creators call it the .500 Bushwhacker. It can also chamber .500 S&W Magnums and .500 JRH if you want to shoot something "milder".

True that not all expansion is created equal, but like I cited with LuckyGunner's gel results, this is almost a full extra bullet diameter larger than the largest expanding bullet they tested. Even then, all the top ones that reach the 0.7" expanded diameter expand into petal shapes. The largest...

I agree somewhat on the shallow penetration. I think that a lot of the issue is with the weight. If they increased the weight, they would increase the sectional density, which should increase penetration. The issue with that will likely be a velocity decrease. If it still managed to consistently...

Very cool. After using the Barnes Tac-TX 110 gr 30 cal bullet for hunting, I'm very much sold on how well-made copper bullets expand. They don't have the sectional density of lead for penetration, so I'm not surprised that it was so shallow in the gel. That "flower petal" expansion though, does...

Not really driving "private" landlords out. This targets small landlords. Middle-class and the small-time rich. There will be private landlords... super-rich and large corporate ones. NYC rails against "income inequality", all while doing its very best to create it. NY has been destroying the...

People also tend to forget the contributions of the French, Spanish, and the Dutch. The American patriots fought well, but the French entered into an alliance with the Americans and declared war on Britain in 1778. Their navy was a massive boon to the Americans, and the small army the French...

Guess I'll invest some more in my reloading bench setup.

I like the .300 Blackout well enough and took a deer with it this year. The doe weighed around 110-120 lbs and I hit her from about 35 yards away with a double-lung/heart shot. Like Carlos Hathcock said of the 6.5 Grendel, recoil was so light that the scope was still on her after the shot. She...

They make some bold claims. They say that it basically does the opposite of stacking – that the pull gets lighter as you pull through. I wouldn't say that I don't believe them, but I will say that there's no free lunch in physics. I wouldn't pay $240, sight unseen, to find that my revolver now...

I appreciate the concern. I check for them after I hunt, wash my clothing well, and treat my clothes with permethrin before the season.

C'mon man, it's just a hunting gun... for deer... and warning shots. You know the thing.

Cold weekend where I hunt for sure, but a pretty fun one. We hunted all day Saturday with a quick lunch/warmup break. Saw tons of deer, but all antlerless. All told, I saw over 20 deer, a fox, and beautiful owl. We don't shoot antlerless on opening day, so we all went back to camp empty-handed...
